soul brothers
Deep bond friends
Soul brothers are black men, especially when emphasizing shared identity, culture, or solidarity.
The term emerged from African American communities in the 1960s as an expression of racial pride and mutual recognition: What's happening, soul brother?
It can extend to any men united by deep connection or common cause, but the racial meaning predominates.
